Wow thats sounds brilliant RBB your a lucky guy
I definitely am as it was all right place, right time lol Then when you think of the number of people over the years who had the same chance, its probably not very many. So when I see people making comments about him saying "He's a d*ck" etc, all I'll say is he very may well be, but he never was to me. Most of the comments I notice come from Americans who like I said, don't get his humor or understand a lot of it is just a wind up for the press.

Yeah Ritchie is indeed a wind up merchant, i find many of his interviews very funny indeed ,this one had me in stitches, especially the end where he tells the girl interviewing him that she did very well, but just don't do it again. He is an eccentric no doubt but then so are most geniuses

Re: Doug Aldrich leaves Whitesnake
I'd love to see DC make a real roots album, ITL was nice but instead a really analog, organic feel album.

Re: Doug Aldrich leaves Whitesnake
There is a brief interview with Doug over at Teamrock website:
He was taken aback that I would leave, maybe even a bit upset, so we haven’t been in touch in that way. I hope that in the future we’ll have a laugh and a drink together again the way we used to.
Interesting.

Re: Doug Aldrich leaves Whitesnake
Sounds like DC gave an ultimatum and DA called him on it...

Re: Doug Aldrich leaves Whitesnake
On today's twitter feed some tells DC that they cannot wait for the tour. He responds with "We're planning something very special for this one".
Also tweets of studio guitars (inc a bass guitar from his Purple days) lit with Purple lights.
